[voice over] The average person touches their face about eighteen times every waking hour. That leaves you susceptible to infection about one hundred times a day. Infection has a nasty habit of taking advantage of our everyday behaviours. It spreads by touching doors, desks, elevator buttons, pens, sharing cups, even money. All we can do is try our best to prevent it from spreading because once it's out there, the infection usually wins.
“You Be Illin” · Season 10, Episode 18
In this episode: Meredith Grey (4), Derek Shepherd (2)
[Meredith walks into Derek's office to find him reciting his speech to baby Bailey, who is in his car seat]
I went up to daycare to find my son missing.
Yeah, I needed an audience. Look, sit down. Let me go over this again with you, okay?
Oh, no, no, no. I've heard that speech so many times I could do it myself. Stop boring our son.
Is it boring? I have 50 scientists from around the world coming here today. It's got to be charming. It's a big deal.
I know it's a big deal, which is why I will get out of your way.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm. [takes car seat] And I'm taking my son with me because I don't want his first word to be hypothalamus. [kisses Derek]
There are worse first words.
[worriedly] Are you okay?
Uh, if you can speak Estonian. My translator called in sick.
You don't look good. Are you getting this thing?
I don't get sick. It's an unspoken rule.

Spoken. Twice today.
[voice over] It's a known fact that doctors make the worst patients. We ignore our symptoms until we're face down on the ground. We like to think we're a different species to our patients but none of us are invincible. Eventually we have to face the fact that we're human and that, sometimes, even the mightiest of us need help.
